State Of Independence

Record Details

So I guess we’ve reached the point of no return
Only miles of empty highway left to burn
You longed for it you followed it
You squandered it and showed it no concern

And I guess that we were destined not to last
There were far too many scars left from the past
We meant for it intended it
But the memory was branded on our hearts
And it’s over now

So you stand as the defendantSo silent and politeBut your eyes are unrepentantLike sirens in the nightAnd there could’ve been a wayShould’ve been a wayTo win without a fightAnd avoid this state of independence

And you always wanted more than a run-around
Only I was never sure I could settle down
I toyed with you avoided you
Exploited you as far as you’d allow
But it’s over now

So you stand as the defendantSo silent and politeBut your eyes are unrepentantLike sirens in the nightAnd there could’ve been a wayShould’ve been a wayTo win without a fightAnd avoid this state of independence

I don’t want to write or keep it inside
I’m not going to fight or swallow my pride
Don’t want to be right
When everything feels so wrong

So you stand as the defendantSo silent and politeBut your eyes are unrepentantLike thunder in the nightAnd there could’ve been a wayShould’ve been a wayTo win without a fightAnd avoid this state of independence
